4. Pack the faulty CP blade in the packaging provided with the new CP blade, and contact the switch supplier to
determine the return procedure.
5. Replace the chassis door.
If you have one or more application or extension blades in the chassis, the Fabric OS automatically detects
mismatches between the active CP firmware and the blade's firmware and triggers the auto-leveling process. This
auto-leveling process automatically updates the application blade firmware to match the active CP. At the end of the
auto-leveling process, the active CP, application, and extension blades will run the same version of the firmware.
